Question

The observations $29,32,48,50,x,x+2,72,78,84,95$ are arranged in ascending order and their median is $63$, then the value of $x$ is

• A. $61$
• B. $62$
• C. $62.5$
• D. $63$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$62$

Given distribution is in ascending order and having number of terms 10 (even)
Hence median is A.M of 5th and 6th terms $=\frac{x+x+2}{2}=63$ (given) $\therefore x=62$
